Anant Art presents Naya Anjor, a group exhibition welding distinct artistic approaches that have been crucial in keeping vigil against the extractive occupations of mountains, forests and rivers in South Asia. Inspired by a song by Faguram Yadav, a poet at the heart of Chattisgarh Mukti Morcha, the exhibition presents collective imaginaries, narrative flights and stories of resistance struggles as vital sources against anthropocenic nihilism.
Naya Anjor, which translates to a ‘new ray’ harks to the promise of Octavia Butler’s radical assertion: “There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns”.
